I want to see the students in a pleasant state

Speaking in an interview with YEN.com.gh, the teacher who has been teaching for three years said his decision to help his students was premised on his desire to see the students in a state conducive for learning.

"My inspiration for supporting the children comes from just how unpleasant it is to me to see children and even anybody at all that want education to be in a state of a worn out uniform or shoes and even books.

"The inspiration ignited more after one child who had a lot of thread passed on the back of his shorts. He told me how difficult things are for them at home and so that explains why he was in a bad uniform. So I began from that boy and I’ve extended it to many children since 2021."

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that another Ghanaian teacher had provided some pupils at his school with new uniforms through the help of a donor.
